pivaz in Hackney

Love this place, one of my favs on Chatsworth road

Gokay was absolutely fantastic. His service was impeccable. The food was delicious, overall a great experience.

Solid neighborhood restaurant that all kinds of people enjoy. Good Turkish grilled food and space to sit outside.

Every visit is amazing, great food and drink, amazing chef and Deniz was so welcoming.

Wow. What a brilliant time I had at Pivaz - and it’s all thanks to the insane service of Gokay. He told us that he didn’t want to “upsell us” and was all about “honesty” which was a true breath of fresh air. I’m sure he wouldnt always be this honest, but I’m not being hyperbolic when I say myself, Josh and Gokay had a real connection and all walls were down. We had a delicious dish called the menemen (not sure to be honest) that Gokay INSISTED we ate with the bread. And he gave us extra! Can’t believe he’s only been there a month - what a guy. Picture attached if you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Gokay yet. Hopefully you will soon… Life changing stuff.

Great food and perfect service from Gokay. Large selection on the menu with plenty of veggie options!

Lovely lunch both times we’ve come here and great service by Gokay. Big portion sizes and all the salads taste very fresh, highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. Served hot and has excellent taste. Must try the sweets and desserts. All excellent

Such a great spot. Brilliant food. Excellent service from Gokay and the overall vibe is impeccable. Thanks team!!

Amazing food as per usual! Everything was 10/10 including uno our server :)

I was there for a launch out; the service was excellent, the management was very professional and welcoming and the food was very tasteful (yummy). Honestly, it was an excellent experience.

Used to come here a long time ago, quality has down grounded heavily. The portions, how food is presented. I was disappointed.

Warm, friendly and attentive staff. Anyone who dines at Pivaz will always come away with a good experience. The food is fresh and guaranteed tasty. Totally and wholeheartedly recommend. The food is very reasonably priced also.

Great seervice by Gokay today. He saw us looking at the menu so he came out and gave us reccomendations. The place is perfect also percfect to sit outside on sunny days.

Love Pivaz and Gokay was absolutely fantastic! Our server for the evening, he went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional dining experience. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, and Gokay’s recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend requesting Gokay for your next visit – you won't be disappointed!" 5/5 stars

Excellent food, clean and healthy with friendly helpful staff

Great food and greater customer service. Gokay was top tier and looked after us and made us laugh. Thank you!

Gokay had amazing customer service and made my mums bday meal a pleasure. Full of life, bubbly and professional! Pivaz is our new favourite local Turkish Resturant!

Amazing food and service by Gokay!! He was lovely patient and very accommodating. Best Turkish food better!

The most delicious food and incredible service. Uno and Denis made the best service!

Best Turkish restaurant around. Great food, service and atmosphere. Home made chilli sauce not to be missed!

The restaurant had a great vibe and tasty food, and our servers Uno and Denis was super friendly and helpful throughout the evening.

I had a really good time during our Financial Joy Academy community meetup. The food was good. Sukran did an excellent job. Catering for us all.

Lovely service lovely food! Flavoured!

We had an excellent meal at Pivaz this afternoon, I would really recommend it for anyone staying in the Hackney area. Our server Gokay was so friendly & attentive and brought some good vibes - he really made it a wonderful experience. A great amount of vegetarian options too which is a bonus!

Stopped by as I live around, had an amazing Spicy prawns dish with red wine. Gokay was very friendly and professional at the same time. I will come again.

Really tasty food and friendly staff (Gokay), with lovely Chatsworth Road backdrop :)

I’m local so I happen to come here quite often, but I’m not partial! Every commendation is totally deserved, the food is delicious and the service even better! If you’re looking for a modern, comfy and full of character Turkish restaurant do yourself a favour and come visit Pivaz.

Lovely place. Great service from Elise.

The food is fine, but nothing particularly special. Its just standard Turkish food and overpriced for what it is. The main problem with Pivaz is that the staff are over bearing to the point of intrusion. Nobody needs staff hovering over them every five minutes as if it's a Michelin 5 star restaurant. Within 5 minutes of sitting down the waiter serving us ( good friday, early evening) was interjecting himself into a private conversation at our table which was really annoying. Then we had 3 other members of staff constantly hovering over us for the duration of the meal. At one point I asked them to give us some space but it continued. I took my parents there a couple of weeks before and the situation was exactly the same It spoils the experience I won't be going again. There are better restaurants on Chatsworth road to spend your money in which give a more relaxed eating experience

We had a great time at Pivaz on Sunday for Dads birthday, the team really looked after us and made us all feel special, thanks again to Unal and the guys, always top tier from you all, God Bless!

My time here from start to finish was really, good food and service throughout. Good place for families to eat out. Thank you Unal, Sukran and especially Gokay for such good experience.

first time came here and i must say the place was exceptionally good..it felt like realy cosy which made dinner feel even better..the staff was great and super smiley sukran made sure my first experience was the best i can get ..will come back and also definitely recommend the grilled fish..superb!!!

Lovely breakfast. Thanks Gokay!

Great spot, food & service. Thanks Gokay 👊

As always the food was super delicious, service is impeccable from Unal and Gokay . Defo will recommend it and I will back here soon

We love Pivaz, the food is so tasty and the staff are so so friendly!

Delicious food and very friendly and attentive service. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

Excellent food and super nice service.

So so lovely - food was amazing and service and atmosphere was perfect for my family Easter lunch. Thank you Unal, you did an incredible job 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Amazing food and super friendly staff especially our waiter Unal! Will definitely come back, lovely atmosphere to hang out with friends and family.

Lovely place and the food is sooooo good, would highly recommend! The service was great and one of our waiters Gokay was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back again soon!

Everything was perfect great service from Gokay

Amazing food ; excellent services ; .Gokay ;was a super star 🌟 great service; and very charismatic.

Lovely food and funny warm and welcoming staff

Just lovely, great food and a nice vibe. 🍆🤿😛🛴🧑🏻‍🦽‍➡️

Great restaurant in Homerton. Lunch or dinner is always good. Gokay was great, super friendly and very attentive. Great all round.

Great restaurant and an amazing local place to have! Especially our waiter Gokay!

Excellent food! The chicken and lamb was super juicy and perfectly seasoned. The service was super nice, and very quick. Strongly recommend any food lover

Absolutely awesome food and great ambiance

Fantastic food, a warm welcome and great service from Unal and the rest of the staff. The dishes were very good and the atmosphere was just what we needed for a celebration. It was full of locals and is obviously a great find.

Fantastic food and experience. They really look after you! I’m a food snob as well, this is top turkish food. Gokay was a legend as well.

The food was great, as always, and the server Ushal was very nice. We also got some freebies at the end which was extra special, thank you!

Very lovely food and staff, really nice atmosphere and reasonably priced

Very yummy I had a lovely experience with my beautiful friends and can’t wait to go back for the 35th time this year I had the lamb and chicken shish and our server was so cheeky 😊

Went to treat myself solo and Gokay really took care of me and everyone in the room really :) Eyes for details, they are really welcoming. The food is good quality, you’ll not be disappointed. Don’t hesitate if you want a Turkish treat if you’re in the area ;) Priscilla.

Muy buena comida y excelente servicio por parte de todo el personal muy recomendable sin duda volvería a visitar para probar otros platos en el menú gracias

My partner and I never go out to eat except for special occasions — we decided to treat ourselves and were so pleasantly surprised by our experience! Not only are the prices fair and the food fantastic, but the staff were so welcoming and friendly. I work in hospitality and feel that the service industry in London is a sad place to be; people don’t want to be served, and servers don’t want to serve others. The staff at Pivaz are passionate about what they do and it shows, especially our waiter Gokay. He was so kind and had the biggest smile on his face and it made our evening. We’ll be returning!

Nos sentamos afuera con mantas y tuvimos bebidas y cenas, la comida era deliciosa y nuestro servidor Sukran era genial! Un gran ambiente

My mum and I had a meal here and were absolutely blown away. Everything we ordered was delicious — we both said it was the best meal out we’ve had in ages! Our waiter, Gokhay, was fantastic and made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Brilliant!! Incredible food and even better service. Gokay’s hospitality was top notch, and made us feel more than welcome. Will be back again !

Gokay was an excellent server was so polite and helpful. Definitely would come again

One of the best restaurants in East London. We come here all the time and always have a great meal. Some of the best service you could want, all the staff are absolutely lovely. Including Gokay and Unal but every member of the team is so welcoming and kind. It’s always busy and has great atmosphere. We also get lots of takeaways from here as it’s easy, always comes hot, is quick and most importantly delicious!

Lovely food, great service, all around enjoyable experience! Thanks Gokoy!

Delicious food and very friendly staff, made us feel extremely welcome. Will come back soon!

Unal looked after us well, great food

Unal was a great server - he was truly welcoming and great - he made us feel at home, and truly we will be coming back!!!! Thank you

Great place. We go here for somewhere local on special occasions. This occasion was Mother's Day, most of us went for the Pivaz breakfast (excellent), I had an ana kebab wrap - which is excellent value, and straight off the grill.

Was looked after by Unal before we even entered the restaurant. Took great care of us and the food was outstanding. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Excellent food. Worth the visit.

A good family situation. Delightful staff and the food delicious. Plates a little too generous! But all a triumph!

I come to this restaurant from the other side of London for six years. At the beginning it was for the special baklava that Pivaz offers, and the food was really good. But now everything looks much better! I came to Pivaz on Wednesday, and I’ve seen a little bit of changes. Inside, the restaurant looks amazing and the dishes are incredible! The service is accurate, even outside, where I was sitting by myself.But I’m extremely happy that the baklava is still the same!I really recommend this place!

Amazing food; generous serving; wonderful helpful staff. Worth a visit if you are in the area

Excellent customer service, staff is professional and very helpful the food is amazing it is fresh very well prepared and it is authentic, the atmosphere is great and it is child friendly would highly recommend this restaurant absolute 10/10, when Pivaz is organising your child’s Birthday party what you get is absolute perfection , thank you so much … Best birthday parties ever , such an amazing experience great day , just to add the lamb liver is Amazing 🤩 absolutely 💯 fabulous we had it few days ago and it was scrumptious, the best lamb liver in London , but even restaurants in Istanbul can not match it

Lovely local cafe with pleasant music, great service, lovely comfy chairs and yummy healthy food.

Mums first visit to chatsworth road and couldn’t have asked for a better lunch and time spent here! Enjoyed every minute & bite

Adam was great! Wanted to try this place for a while, and it didn’t disappoint.

Food is great, Adam was great !

Great food , well portioned and outstanding service by Ural who looked after me.

Friendly staff, excellent food & fast service! What more does one need ☺️

Nico was very lovely! Nice selection of vegetarian options and offered us rice instead of bread since gluten-intolerance. Also got a dessert for free because of a birthday 🥳 Highly recommended!!

Very friendly service, generous portions which tasted very good. Great music too x

Delicious and great service. Thanks Adam

Just picked-up a lockdown takeaway. Ready in 20 mins. Friendly and efficient service, delicious food for the whole family and got free rice pudding on the house. Recommend! UPDATE - most recent visit in person. Lovely vibe, food and staff. My choice of colourful avocado and halloumi was fabulous. See photo!

BEST PLACE I BEEN ! HANDS DOWN !

Great food and vibe. Definitely coming back!

Amazing experience. Great cocktails and food. Will be back again.

Delicious food , nice place and staff.

Lovely place, quite cheap and delicious

I went to lunch with my family and I had a wonderful first visit thanks to Nico, the assistant manager who made sure that we didn't miss absolutely anything during the entire visit. We will definitely come back.

First time visiting Pivaz for my friends birthday. Nico was a lovely and attentive server. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. We received a complimentary dessert which was a lovely touch to end my friend’s birthday dinner. Would definitely come again!

Delicious fresh food, perfect marinade, fluffy bread, fast and efficient service. Perfection!

We have been coming here for a few years and the food is always amazing - best baba ganoush in London

Amazing food and service! I love all the lamb dishes

Sukran was a lovely sever and really made us feel welcome and at home. Always cheerful and smiling. Really lovely service.

Delicious food, brilliant service, great atmosphere and good wine. I really recommend this place

had the grilled salmon fillet and baklava for dessert and both dishes were wonderful

We had dinner at Pivaz Hackney tonight, and it was a fantastic experience! Our waitress, Nico, was incredibly sweet and attentive—her service was truly exceptional. She made sure everything was perfect for us and added a special touch to our evening. The service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the cozy ambiance made the night even more enjoyable. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was delicious. Huge thanks to the whole team for a wonderful night

Lovely place, food, atmosphere and service - gorgeous, 10/10 will be back :)

Sukran was amazing, so very helpful! Delicious food and lovely service!
